TOGETHER WE CREATE TOMORROW’S MARINE TECHNOLOGY Royal IHC enables its customers to execute complex projects – from sea level to ocean floor – in the most challenging of maritime environments. We are a reliable supplier of innovative and efficient equipment, vessels and services for the offshore, dredging and wet mining markets. With a history rooted in the Dutch shipbuilding industry since the mid-17th century, we have in-depth expertise in the engineering and manufacture of high-performance integrated vessels and equipment, as well as providing sustainable services. With our commitment to technological innovation we strive to continuously meet the specific needs of each customer in a rapidly evolving world. IHC evolved from a number of local independent shipyards into a world-renowned designer and builder for the specialist maritime sector. More recently, we have started to transition from an industrial production company to a knowledge-driven enterprise centred around technology. Royal IHC. The technology innovator. In June 2014, the ‘Royal’ title was granted to IHC. This honour is testament to IHC’s long history, national importance and prominence in The Netherlands, as well as its international outlook, growth and reliability. Safety is paramount in the maritime industry and therefore deeply embedded in our strategy and company culture. Our people are our most valuable assets, which makes safety in the workplace a core value. The same applies to our products and services. Every aspect of our equipment and vessels is carefully designed and engineered to ensure the highest level of safety for the life-cycle of our products. We are committed to creating a sustainable balance between profit, people and the planet. Our CSR strategy is based on three pillars – sustainable entrepreneurship, social responsibility and environmental accountability. IHC’s commitment to CSR does not end at the company gates. We also ensure our accountability and actions involve our suppliers, subcontractors and society as a whole. IHC provides consultancy services for vessel and equipment design, as well as marine operations, engineering and assessments. Furthermore, we provide advisory services throughout the complete life cycle of projects. This could range from the initial scope through to detailed feasibility studies and the optimisation of operations, in order to maximise our customers production levels, efficiency, and profit. In the challenging environments of dredging, mining and offshore construction, having the best equipment and the latest technology is vital. We have been at the forefront of the industry for decades and continuously invest in research and development (R&D). We are known for our gamechanging innovations, that enable us to deliver the most efficient vessels, equipment and services in the specialist maritime industry. IHC’s practical designs for new equipment, vessels or conversions, facilitate complex operations. Throughout the design process, we combine practical experience with theoretical background. Our design experts not only bring their comprehensive knowledge of operations and equipment, but also detailed experience of the multiple types of vessels across various markets. IHC designs are simple and proven when possible, but also groundbreaking when required. IHC endeavours to offer customised financial solutions across the whole of its offering. Given the extensive array of products and services IHC provides, its range of financial solutions are equally extensive. Among other benefits, IHC offers attractive payment terms, supplier credit, commercial financing, rental and leasing solutions, as well as (ECA-supported) buyers’ credit. IHC’s aim is to add value throughout the total customer journey – from initial contact to the operational support of our equipment. Whether our customers require an innovative product design, a creative solution for project financing, an exploitation calculation or a service support agreement; we will propose the most effective solutions. There are many avenues to achieving this. That’s why we have a number of routes that could be the starting point to helping you reach a solution that best suits your needs. STANDARD ROUTE IHC offers short- and medium-term rental services. This covers the supply of modular and flexible equipment and vessels, for companies operating in the dredging, and offshore markets. This enables our customers with an ad-hoc need for such equipment to cost-effectively execute projects, while keeping their equipment inventory to a minimum. CUSTOMISED ROUTE IHC focuses on delivering a totally integrated solution. Vessels can be delivered with complete systems tailored to the project’s requirements. This inclusive design and supply distinguishes us from our competitors. No other maritime solution provider can design, adapt and deliver the specialist equipment that IHC can. IHC’s extensive knowledge and capabilities ensures that our solutions can integrate with the latest technology, and conform to the strictest safety regulations and environmental standards. Our customers operate all around the world. Therefore, IHC has developed global partnerships with other shipyards for local production of vessels and equipment. This allows IHC to comply with local requirements and regulations, as well as shorten delivery times, and decrease transport and import costs. We also have offices and service centres in every continent. This enables our customers to stay operational at all times. By offering high-quality services and global support, we help our customers to operate in a highly-skilled and efficient manner. In turn, this propels them towards achieving optimum levels of productivity. The services we offer allow them to increase their uptime, as well as improve the performance of their vessels and equipment, while reducing the total costs of ownership.
